Abstract

This paper builds on a review of literature and EU policies for rural development, innovation, entrepreneurship and the bio‐based economy. It provides a basis for conceptualizing modern rural economies dealing with food, biobased value chains, and valorization of ecosystem services regarding future conditions for rural entrepreneurship (including agriculture), remote areas (including those in coastal areas), and urban‐rural integration. It will outline emerging opportunities to promote diversification, shared values, innovation, and resource conservation, and to reach a common understanding of the solutions to set up a “Modern Rural Economy” in different conditions. In general, there are many opportunities for rural development, many of them linked to emerging technologies which reduce the relevance of distance in marketing, sales and many other activity domains and to business opportunities evolving within the bio‐economy and ecosystem services. However, it becomes obvious that the realization of opportunities needs to build on the simultaneous engagement of various stakeholders in business development, research, and public administration. Successful developments require an integrated development approach which combines opportunities into a comprehensive development program.

现代农村经济的预期未来——对研究、政策和商界指导的请求

本文以文献综述和欧盟农村发展、创新、创业和生物经济政策为基础。它为现代农村经济的概念化提供了基础，这些经济涉及食品、生物价值链和生态系统服务的价值增值，涉及农村创业(包括农业)、偏远地区(包括沿海地区)和城乡一体化的未来条件。探讨促进多元化、共享价值、创新和资源节约的新机遇，探讨在不同条件下建设“现代农村经济”的共同出路。总的来说，农村发展有许多机会，其中许多与新兴技术有关，这些技术减少了营销、销售和许多其他活动领域的距离相关性，并与生物经济和生态系统服务中不断发展的商业机会有关。然而，很明显，机会的实现需要建立在商业发展、研究和公共管理中各种利益相关者的同时参与的基础上。成功的开发需要一个综合的开发方法，将机会结合到一个全面的开发计划中。

期刊介绍： Understanding the development of the food system requires a system view that captures the complexity of the system and its many interrelationships with its economic, social and natural environments. The Journal accepts and offers papers within this broad range of issues focussing on the management, policy, marketing, consumer aspects, transparency, e-commerce, institutional or regional development, information and communication systems, ressource economics, production economics, chain management, network economics, and similar aspects. Papers may focus on modeling, empirical research or theoretical analyis. This broad range of publication opportunities asks authors to follow clear lines of arguments and to present arguments in a convincing way that avoids unnecessary complexities of model formulations if not relevant for the support of arguments. The publication of scientific articles is complemented by a number of sections that provide room for publications with a more specific focus: ''Case studies'': A section on case studies of the ''Harvard Type'' allows the publication of studies that might build on established scientific methodology but demonstrate its use in ceratin decision environments. Case studies might be complemented by ''teaching cases'' that are kept on a database outside the journal but accessible to readers on approval by authors. ''Research Forum'': It allows to discuss newly emerging research challenges or to contribute to ongoing scientific discussions on research problems. In addition, authors might initiate a discussion on issues brought up by articles published in the journal. ''Research Notes'': It provides room for specific shorter scientific contributions with a narrow scope.
